Exercise Videos

Summary

We in the United States have a major conflict between loving exercise and hating it, especially when combining it with weight loss programs. On the one hand, we buy billions of dollars worth of exercise videos, home gyms, treadmills, stair climbers, Nordic track and abdominal machines.

Most women detest having to incorporate regular exercise into their lives, or being told they have to exercise, in order to lose or maintain their weight. If they could take a magic pill that speeds up their metabolism, burns fat, or suppresses their appetite, without exercising, they'll swallow it in a minute.

Most commercial weight loss companies don't adequately address exercise, or choose not to. There is only one American commercial chain that BestDietForMe.com analysts know of that combines a weight loss program with on-site exercise equipment and classes--Inches-A-Weigh Weight Loss Centers.

Companies like Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig handle the nutrition/dieting part, but tell you basically to design your own program or join a gym. Perhaps this is a logistical and liability issue. They may not have the space in a retail storefront for exercise machines, and they don't want people filing lawsuits against them if they injure themselves while working out. So, they leave it up to you.

They skirt the issue. They'll sell you exercise balls, pedometers, exercise tapes, exercise books, mats, clothing, and they'll give you exercise information and tips online or even via the phone. But, that's about as far as most go. Some companies, such as Jenny Craig, go a little further, since their counselors are now trained and certified by The Cooper Institute, a well-known and respected fitness organization.

Consequently, if you are trying to lose weight or get in shape, chances are you'll be buying probably a dozen or so various exercise videos to use at home. There is not shortage. Not only can you find exercise tapes at local mass merchants, but you can buy them online or from mail order catalogs. They are affordable and convenient. You can use them again and again, in the comfort of your home, when YOUR schedule permits, unlike a structured health club or personal training program--and they are a lot less expensive.
